Babalu Apartments - Puerto Rico - Gran Canaria

We booked a holiday at Babalu Apartments as a last minute deal. The apartment was basic but clean. The furnishings were shabby and the bathroom only has a shower. The best thing was the big balcony. The kitchen facilities were basic. The maid cleaned 5 days out of the 7 we were there.

The apartments are located half way up the hill from Puerto Rico. If you want to visit the resort at the bottom of the hill a taxi costs 3euros each way, which adds to the cost of your holiday and it is a bit far to walk in the heat.

The TV is coin-operated & only has a couple of English language channels. If you want any extras these must be hired (eg. 10euros for a kettle). We wanted to retain the room for our last day but thought that 35euros was too much.

Amadores beach is easy to reach, & much nicer than Puerto Rico, although sun beds are 8euros a day to hire. At the nearby Europa Centre there are a few shops & restaurants which are handy.
